I want to use the thing as a battery charger at a repeater site. The supply does not appear to have a current limiting circuit to limit the transformer temperature in cases where the battery can draw too much current due to a shorted cell or a stone dead situation. I want to provide that

Due to the number of replies, I am sending this here . It is gone, thanks for the interest. We have what seems to be a real good site for an Amateur Repeater, 190 feet up the tower and 1 5/8 all the way to the antenna. So far it looks like we will have a first class station. For now we are using

A GE mastr II base station makes a nice repeater, I have picked one up (LIKE NEW) for $250 with a 100 watt PA. these are GREAT repeaters for the Money!!! A kenwood TKR-850 make a nice small repeater, but more money!! I have bought them as cheap as $650 and as much as $1000.00 73, Allen / K6GOD

John - You should reduce the Power out to about half and keep the fan on the heatsink of the transmit radio. Search the archives, a lot on info on the GM300s there. Charles, KS3Z --- John reid [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Due to the number of replies, I am sending this here . It is gone,

Your battery should never go stone dead or it will simply be trashed every time. You need to use/install a Low Voltage Disconnect. Depending on the supply... simple battery charger and backup connections can be done using a high current diode and a proper size resistor. Some supplies need

Tom, The last TKR-750 repeater I worked on was about three years ago. Since then, there have been some changes in the design of the unit, and others may be able to describe those changes. Although I advised a local radio club to purchase the K2 version, which tunes 136-150 MHz, the buyer

Hey guys, Any good radios to use for 220 linking? I know Alinco makes the DR235, but the PL decoder sucks on it. Anything from tait or anything else to suggest? I need a few of these. Thanks, Jed

Jed, I'm using some synthesized Hamtronics TX and RX modules in a 220 repeater, and they seem to be holding up well. If properly encased and shielded, those modules should perform well in link service. your ready-made options are few... 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message-
